2 Local Schools Report Covid-19

The information provided was sourced from the Bridport News website:

Mountjoy School, based in Beaminster, confirmed a person within the school had tested positive for Covid-19 and was last in the school on Wednesday, November 25th.

A statement on Mountjoy’s School’s website reads:

“We are continuing to monitor the situation and are working closely with Public Health Dorset and Dorset Council.  All close contacts of the confirmed case have been identified and asked to self-isolate. The person who has tested positive was last in school on Wednesday, November 25 and only one class group has been in contact.  Unless you have been specifically notified that your child is a close contact, you do not need to take any further action at this stage.”

The Woodroffe School, based in Uplyme Road in Lyme Regis, confirmed that a student had tested positive for Coronavirus while another student had their positive test result reversed following a laboratory error.

The school, which remains open, had sent a letter to parents and carers on Friday (November 27) confirming the news.

Public Health Dorset is aware of the cases within the West Dorset schools and are assisting them along with Dorset Council and Public Health England South West.

Sam Crowe, Director of Public Health for Dorset and Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Councils said: “All close contacts of the confirmed cases have been notified and need to self-isolate for 14 days.

“Contacts of the confirmed cases should get tested if they go on to develop symptoms. Even if people test negative, they must still self-isolate for 14 days.”
